AIM- Metabolic fuel detectors regulate energy balance at peripheral and central levels. The aim of this study is to assess association of serum Orexin levels with Metabolic risk markers in women of reproductive age group. MATERIAL AND METHODS- The study was conducted in campus of King George Medical University (KGMU), Uttar Pradesh Lucknow, INDIA. 150 apparently healthy women of reproductive age group i.e. 20-40 years of age were randomly selected. Fasting serum orexin and Serum insulin levels were measured using ELISA and weight, Body mass index, Fasting blood glucose , Lipid profile and Blood pressure were estimated in women.RESULT- The results show that Serum orexin levels has significant positive correlation with fasting blood glucose, weight ,BMI and waist circumference along with a weak negative correlation with serum Insulin level. CONCLUSION-In present study Serum orexin levels significantly correlate with weight , BMI, Fasting blood glucose and weak negative correlation with serum Insulin levels. serum orexin levels did not correlate with lipid profile of women of reproductive age group.
